I must admit, I love the love for a fellow Aussie, but the reason Exum isn't getting minutes is because he is currently trash (hope that changes). Not because the coach is doing it wrong. He's averaging 5ppg @35% shooting. He's averaging more fouls than rebounds and 2.4 assists to 1.4 TOs per game.

He isn't playing well enough to deserve minutes in a big playoff series.

He's got plenty of time to turn it around, but at the moment he hasn't proven he deserves the minutes.

True

But that's what regular season is for.

Quinn's yanked him and gone hoiberg on him a little too often imo

You referring to durants ability to draw fouls?

 

[Mazza12346]

That was a HUGGE play

 

[Dez!]

So I go from one piece of s**t in Smart to another piece of s**t in Beverly? Boourns.

 

[go u jimmy b]

time for Westy to go beast mode, get the ball in the paint and go to work

 

[Gak Attack]

Harden has started atrocious

 

[Ray Donovan]

I love playoff basketball

Beverly two threes on westbrook
Roberson two threes on harden to start the game

The beard 0-4 and two free throw misses from the line.

Those two defensive matchups are going to be crucial to the series with ball dominant point guards. The usage rate of these two is going to be through the roof.

The rockets have the fire power can the thunder beat there poor defence in transition.

The thunder switching on defence is struggling like it has all year.

Go thunder get on the high side

 

[Ray Donovan]

Harden has started atrocious

The beard or westbrook could go 0-30 from the field in the first half and still keep jacking them up

 

[thegrach]

Wait...Norris Cole is still in the league?

 

[Drummer_19]

Wait...Norris Cole is still in the league?

He always finds a way back somehow.

 

[mickelboy182]

Kanter defensively is so horrid.

 

[mickelboy182]

Do they ever call moving screens on Nene? Guy just walks people all over the court

 

[Gak Attack]

Why in the NBA can you maul a guy on the floor and end up with a jump ball? Happens heaps when it should be a foul.

 

[Gak Attack]

Oh dear poor Kanter. You'd hate to be a big on a team that switches everything.

 

[BluesMan]

Terrible qtr by OkC

 

[mickelboy182]

Harden taking the chocolates in game 1

 

[Burningleviathan]

I expect Wedtbrook to start shooting everything this quarter.

 

[Gak Attack]

I expect Wedtbrook to start shooting everything this quarter.

He still needs 3 assists though.

 

[BluesMan]

Harden is lit

 

[Gak Attack]

Harden certainly turned his bad start around.

 

[nahnah]

Houston is way too good for okc, I'm not basing that off this one game. Think people overrate okc

Only think OKC gets overrated to suit Harden MVP comments tbh. If it wasn't such a close race more would accept the OKC roster being pretty trash.

pretty much

 

[Burningleviathan]

Nah. Most had OKC winning more games than Houston this year. They were also up 3-1 in the WCF. You don't do that if your only good players are Durant and Westbrook. OKC have had players regress and traded Ibaka but how much of that is due to Westbrook's style of play? What kind of numbers do you think Kanter and Adams would be putting up if they were playing pick n roll with Harden?

Anyways only one game. Still a long way to go in the series. I dont expect OKC to be abused in the middle like they were today.
